The need for incentive you mention is silly. The website operator [much like a job searcher with a resume] wants to be in front of as many non-malicious people as possible. And while you might argue .04% of malicious traffic comes over Tor, I've operated sites where 20%+ came over some sort of proxy with poor IP reputation.
You know what?
Fuck it. I'll just build my own site that doesn't use Cloudflare for such a purpose.
- Spooky23 11y agoGlobal traffic patterns don't tell the story. I've seen sites where 100% of Tor traffic was malicious, so the fact that 0.04% is typically malicious is meaningless to the people operating that site. It all depends on what you do. I had a customer a few years ago that was forced to geo-block IP addresses from China, most African nations and Bulgaria. The nature of that customer's business made that an easy solution. A company like Cloudflare serves everyone without a lot of context. If your site serves a Tor-heavy niche, it's not the right solution.
